The Clemson Tigers improved their season record to an impressive 17-5 after a commanding victory over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, who now stand at 11-11. The final scoreline read 81-57 in favor of the visiting team, showcasing the Tigers' dominance on the court.
At Hank McCamish Pavilion, the Clemson Tigers displayed a remarkable performance against their conference rivals. The first half set the tone for the game with Clemson putting up 43 points to Georgia Tech's 31. Continuing their momentum into the second half, they added another 38 points to seal a comprehensive win.
The Tigers' offense was firing on all cylinders with an outstanding field goal percentage of fifty-three percent and an even more impressive three-point shooting rate of forty-eight percent. They made thirty-one field goals throughout the game and were particularly lethal from beyond the arc, sinking fourteen three-pointers.
Defensively, Clemson was just as formidable. They amassed four blocks and four steals while committing only sixteen personal fouls throughout the contest. Their defensive rebounding was strong as well; they collected twenty-five defensive rebounds which limited second-chance opportunities for Georgia Tech.
On top of that, ball movement was key for Clemson's success; they racked up twenty-one assists demonstrating excellent teamwork and fluidity in offense. This high level of playmaking contributed significantly to their scoring runs and kept them ahead throughout both halves.
Georgia Tech struggled to keep pace with Clemson's offensive output despite making nineteen free throws at a ninety percent accuracy rate. Their overall field goal percentage stood at thirty percent which hindered their ability to close down on Clemson's lead effectively.
The Yellow Jackets did manage to out-rebound Clemson with thirty-four total rebounds compared to thirty-one by their opponents but failed to capitalize on these additional opportunities due mainly to committing nine turnovers against a disciplined defense by Clemson who only turned over five times during playtime.
Looking ahead, fans can mark their calendars for when The CW will broadcast live from Littlejohn Coliseum where home team -the- Clemson Tigers are scheduled to face off against Florida State Seminoles on February 24th at 7:45 PM Eastern Time in what promises another exciting matchup between conference rivals.
